WACO, Tex Jan. 29.-The following is
an exact copy of a. specia telegram pub
lished in theIst. Louis Republican of the
26lh inst:
"New York, Jan. Is Special will
liam P. Krugman, proprietor of the Ar
cade Concert hall, wss erraigned in the
Harlem court this afternoon on a charge
of grand larceny, preferred by Mrs. Eliza
beth Wilson, who runs hotel and has g
husband at Waco, Tex. Last fall Krug-
man was bartender at the hotel and con-
ECeived an attachment for Mrs. Wilson,
which was returned with ardor. In
November Krugman came to this city,
and shortly afterward wrote to Mrs. Will
son and induced her to come to New
York. The husband consented, and she
reached New York en- December 8, and
was rece ived by Krugman, who hired
rooms, where they lived in clover, sup
posed 10 be man and wife. Besides the
money in her purse Mrs. Wilson bad 9
$500 bill and q 500 bill in he bottom Of
her skirt. After the couple had been
living together for two weeks Krugman
brought to Mrs. Wilson a telegram
from her husband asking her to
return at once to Waco. She left
for home the next isy, and the last thing
Mrs Wilson did was to feel her skirt to
see if the money was safe. When she
reached Waco she was astounded to find
that no dispatch had been sent to her and
that the $500 bill had been distracted.
She came back to New York at once and
applied to Justice Welde, and Officer John
Dwyer found Krugman at the Arcade
Concert saloon, which place he purchased
short time ago for $500. Krugman was
remanded for examination on Friday"
a GAZETTE reporter this afternoon
called on Mr.. J. 7. Wilson, proprietor of
the st. Charles saloon and restaurant,
who is the husband of the Mrs. Wilson
above alluded to, and showed him the
above publication. Mr.. Wilson states,
emphatieaIIy, that it is true so far as the
theft of the money is concerned. hut the
theft was perpetrated by Isaac Krugman,
Brother OF W. ?. Krugman, and not the
latter. The charges in regard to his wife
and Krugman are repudiated by Mr.
Wilson as utterly and totally false. Mr..
Wilson and his wife went to New
York for her health; that she re
turned and discovering the loss OF the
money immediately returned to New
York. The cash was recovered and now
Mrs. Wilson is en- route for Waco.
Mr.. Wilson showed THE GAZETTE re-
porter telegram from Mrs. Wilson
dated New York, January %. 1t reads ::
a. have the money; will leave tor home
| Tonight" She will arrive, Mr.. Wilson
lis confident, to morrow. Mr.. Wilson
Esays his wife has been in bad
health several years; that he
has spent thousands of dollars
for her restoration and he Is
indignant at the charge made against her,
as he has perfect confidence in her integ-
rlty ard loyalty to him. Several copies
of the Republican are received here, and
the article above quoted has crested e
great deal of talk around town to-day.
Mr.. Wilson says his wife's return is
evidence of the falsity of the story, SO
far as her relations with Krugman are
concerned.

Duncan at Bolton, on November -, 1885,
vas arrested here late last night, and car
ried to Bolton to-day. Estes was only
sixteen years old when he committed the
